What a coincidence. Two years apart CBS News and ABC News featured the same elderly woman, in news stories about the need for a new prescription drug coverage program in Medicare and the shortcomings of Republican-pushed alternatives, as the poster victim of high prescription prices.

Looks like the leftists are having a hard time finding folks to lie about their woes these days...guess Grandma won't lie about eating dog food to buy medicine any more.

And ... that's not all - the dems have dragged out the old Newt sound bite about "wither on the vine".

I saw Joe Scarborough tonight in an interview with a very thin-skinned Eric Alterman talking about this same woman shilling on both networks....I could use some details.
By the way, has anyone seen Janeanne Garofalo lately?....She was bush-bashing at some psuedo-New York-intellectual forum looking as gaunt and haggered as ever!!....She "gone blonde", no doubt "fearing for of her life" and she's covered in jail-house tats, wearing a baseball cap probably borrowed from Michael Moore....Evidently, there's no dress code at this pow-wow....It's worth a look in re-run if you can stomach it.

Well, at least her osteoporosis got better (prolly due to a prescription of newt **Monty Python snicker**). Too bad she got hypertension in the meantime. ;-)
Note to idiot See-BS & ABC "reporters": don't use a "victim" whose name is easily queried. Dipsticks.

Janeane is such a cute little "chirping bird".
Maybe she should get her GED one of these days. Then she could go toe-to-toe with Condi. **snicker**

I just find it hilarious that "COMEDIANS" are some of the DNC's most reliable foot-soldiers in this Bush-bashing craze....Garofolo, Maher, and others only make the left look immature and untrustworthy when the general public is reminded of how these saps actually earn a living.
I know Dennis Miller has been mentioned as a mild surprise in his new-found political evolution to the right. He's a clever guy and he's obviously a comedian on a higher intellectual plane than most, but you wonder if it's a genuine leap.....Thank God that we're not in such desperate straits.

Excuse me! Not every high school dropout is an idiotic loser! J. G. should be ashamed of herself, she give the rest of us H.S. dropouts a bad name.

My, oh my, she's a lovely one too, isn't she?

I'm sorry. I know she's possibly someone's mother (butchwaxed hair taken into account) and definitely someone's daughter, but she looks like a Hoo from The (original animated) Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

If you're a liberal reporter (but I repeat myself), and you need a reference for a story, you just dial up the DNC and ask, "Who should I use as a reference for... ?"
I guess their list is getting short.

Oh mygosh!! Is that a woman?? Do the Democrats really think that most grandmas look like grandpa?

Speaking of lying and lefties (same thing)
Just saw on TV about the lawyers who want to sue the fast food companies....
The reporter asked, "Should we make people run a mile for every burger they eat?!?!"
HEE HEE HEE
He said that was "silly".
I say suing McDonald's because we have fat people in the USA is SILLY! Not all fat people eat at McDonalds. The really fat people are stuck in their bedrooms, and someone is bringing food to them.
Who do THEY sue?
Reporter asked "What about Grandma? Grandma cooks with butter! Can we sue ALL Grandmas?!?!?!"
Man, I made cheese manicotti and fried green tomatoes last night. SO SUE ME!

Heck, MY prescriptions cost a lot. My husband takes Blood pressure med., cholesterol lowering med., diabetes med., arthritis med. I take BP med., thyroid med., and potassium. I don't go whining to the government to pay for my drugs! What a load of Cr*P the lefties are up to!
